Incorrect. It’s all about the agreement with Real.
Raphael Varane | Signed for United!

Plus they were joining a side who finished 4th then 5th, not a side that finished 3rd then 2nd. To be very fair, we did also win 2 trophies that year so it wasn't like it ended up being a disaster, we likely would've got top 4 if we hadn't opted to put all our energy into the EL.
Dont be weird. United do not have unlimited finances! 50 million on a defender with one year on his contract is a lot. Still Im sure not that many people are complaining. Its a good deal if it guarantees not having to see Lindelof get bullied every year by Burnley in the air.
Varane was good few years back, I hope he’s still decent.
So far.....updated
He's joining
He isn't
It's imminent
It's a long way off
He's too expensive
He's a steal at 50 Mill

…. He’s doing a Ramos
By all means the First season under Mourinho was good, until his 2nd season syndrome kicked in and went to war.
The summer made him toxic, then the fall out with Martial, Pogba, Shaw, Mkhitaryan... its no surprise it went bad.
Lots of red flags there.
Are you mental? That is peanuts for this player, both clubs will know it.58m for a player with 1 year left on his contract at a broke club
I really struggle to believe this.
Your talking about a player who would usually be in the 90 mil Euro bracket comfortably. So there’s your discount.
Didn't look too special in the euros! And seems to have a real Jonny Evans howler in him.
So fingers crossed!
Even by caf standards that’s one of the best comparisons I’ve seen posted.Comparing Bailly to Varane is outrageous
You lot are mad. This is a bona fide elite player.
He didn't have a great season or Euros but he's still a top player. Not many better ball-playing CBs around.
Seriously if posters don’t think 58 mill Euros for Varane is a steal they should just ignore player prices for the rest of their lives as they will likely only ever increase and so they will never get to grips with player values imo.
Dias didn't look great either. Judging players on performances in International tournaments isn't the best idea.
It's the sort of deal we'd be looking on enviously at our rivals making.
Was he born offside too?
Yeah it PSG were making this deal then the naysayers would be shouting from rooftops about the inefficiency of our transfer department.
I think people are still scarred by the Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sanchez signings.

We've always wanted him since his days in France. In fact we were pretty close back then.

I'm not sure what people are after in a transfer guru?
We don't like it when they make shit up, but we also don't like it when they wait for concrete information to tell us stuff either. Basically, if you're not able to guess stuff correctly 100% of the time, we don't want you.
Still, we went backwards, at least position wise, after signing three supposedly very good players.
We've had a slight improvement last season compared to 2018/19 and 2019/20 which were very similar overall. It definitely doesn't feel like we're almost complete.
A ban because I’m asking is he Bailly when fit? I don’t watch the player.
Impressive, £50 million for a player like this with his experience great deal if he wants to play for us
More or less debunked already
He was top of my list years ago when he ultimately moved to Madrid and 50m is a steal. I'm a little bit concerned how he will adapt to a totally different league though, especially as he can have the odd howler when put under pressure as he will be far more frequently here. Thiago Silva had a couple of awful games for Chelsea until he got used to the league.
I suppose it's a game of opinions. From where I'm sitting it looks like the team's practically done, barring a midfielder.
Has it? Link, please.
I'm not saying it's true or that I take the tweeter as reliable... but usually when these tweets surface you tend to see bigger names telling it's untrue. I've yet to see any of those...
This is why i say some of our fans don't deserve nice things.
Seems a lot of money for somebody we could make an agreement with over a free transfer in 6 months. I would wait.
And risk him going to the highest bidder while we watch Lindelof fluff around with his ball watching for another season?
€50m would be a fair price rather than a bargain in my eyes (similar to Sancho) but given how inflated prices are it's good to see we haven't been mugged.
I've only really watch Madrid in the CL the last couple of years and haven't been too impressed with him, hence why I'm not overly excited or worried. That said, he has a lot of talent and he's the best experienced available to buy.
